Picked Oysters: Rinse the oysters

LUClFER MATCHES.
A German Story Relating to their Inven-
tion by Political Prisoner.

tion by Political Prisoner.
According to a German paper, tho
inventor of lucifer matches was po-
litical prisoner, who perfected his idea
in 1888. within the walls of state
prison. Kammercr was native of
Ludwigsburg, and when sentenced to
six months imprisonment at Hohenas-
berg, he was fortunate enough to at
tract the notice and to gain the favor
of i'm old officer in charge of the prison,
who, finding he was studying chemis-
try, allowed him to arrange n small
laboratory in his cell. Kammcrer had
been engaged in researches with n
view of improving the defective
stepping system, according to which
splinters of wood, with sulphur at
the ends, were dipped into a chemical
fluid in order to produce II flame. If
the fluid was fresh the result was sat-
isfactory; but MS it lost its virtues after
II time, there was no general dispose
ton to discontinue the old-fashioned
system of using flint and steel. After
many failures Kammerer began to ex-
pertinent with phosphorus, ana had al
most completed his term of imprison-
ment when he discovered the right mix
ture and kinded u match by rubbing it
against the walls of his cell On COM
ing out OF prison he commenced the
manufacture of matches. Unfortunate
ly the absence of II patent law prevent
ed his rights from being secured, and
on Austrian and other chemists analyz-
ing the composition, limitations speedi-
ly made their appearance. In 1885 the
German states prohibited the use of
these matches, considering them dan
gerous. When they We're made in

ON THE WHEEL
What Round tho World Stevens md
Champion Howell Say of tho Sport.

Tho popularity of cycling is growing.
Thomas Stevens, who has Just been
around the globe on n wheel, says that the
best roads in the world are found in British
India. The Grand Trunk road is 1900 miles,
an unbroken highway of marvellous perfec-
ton, from Pershawar on the Afghan frontier
to Calcutta. 1t is made of smooth, hard, nat
ural concrete, beds of which lie along the
line.
How such roads would be appreciated by
the enthusiastic 'cyclers of this countryl
The wonderful achievement of Mr..
Stevens in the face of myriad dangers, en-
titles him to all his honors.
The fast riding champion of tho world,
however, is Richard Howell, of Leicester,
England. He is splendidly made fellow,
between 25 and 30years of age six feeth high,
and weighing, in training, about 16O pounds.
He commenced riding in 1879 and in 1881,
at Belgravia grounds, Leicester, he won
the one-mile championship of the world,
beating all the best men of the day.
From that time his career has been one
of almost unbroken successes. He came to
the United States in 1884 and 1885, and at
the great Springfield tournament in 1888,
won seven out of eight races.
In the 'Cyclin1 Nei0s (Eng), October lst,
1885, is the following interview with him:
"What are your best performances"
"This year did full mile on the track at
judges think, with every thing in my favor,
could do 2:30 for the distance"
"What is your system of trainingW
81 eat plain good food and plenty of it. /
take little walk before breakfast, and then,
after that meal, if am loggy, ride eight or
nIne miles on the track here, in thick tlan-
nels. After dinner do some moro 'slog-
ging' work, and may be walk and early TO
bed.
" But there is one idea of mine which
have found invaluable. If have done too
much work or my system is out of order,
or if don't feel quite sound. take what
have used since l was queer in 1883. L
have always found that Warmers safe cure
sets me up and puts me to rights again, and
1t is a remedy which believe in and tell all
my friends about.
"ln the wiutcr-tinle especially, when you
can easily understand am not so careful of
my health as in the spring, summer or
autumn, l have founG it Invaluable.
All want, to beat the fastest bicyclist in
the world, is plenty of practice, an occa-
sional dose of my favorite, and my ma
chine"
"When am about right in weight 1 con-
tent myself with short, sharp bursts as
hard as ever l can go on the track, and
when can cover 40 yards in thirty seconds
with flying start, reckon to be moving as
well as | want to.
Bicycling is glorious sport, but it has its
physical i'll effects which, however, can be
easily overcome by the method used by
Champion Howell.

Pleasing entertainment.

The entertainment given Friday even
ing at Coburn Hail. for the benefit of the
Relief fund of the Woman's Relief Corps,
was success credtable to all concerned.
The stage settings were unique, espcc-
tally in the first act, representing a farm
yard scene. Two fine ycarllngs, two coops
filed with poultry, stack of hay and
bundle with Bo Peep, Winnie Hall; Gill
the milkmaid, Bessie Hall and Taily the
cook OF color, Willie Barbeau, Mistress
Mary, Miss Emma Hanson; and her at
tendants, Misses Gertie Goodwin and
Halle Shattuck, aud Gertie's big dog lay
quietly at her side, when the chorus of
peasants entered in gay and appropriate
costumes, very pleasant and realistic
scene was presented. The opening chorus
was nicely rendered. The following acts
were equally well given Miss Gertie
Nutting as Lady Lea looked and sang her
part admirably as also Miss Gertrude
Webb, as Natticote. Master Guy Marble
made handsome Boy Blue and wore a
| fine costume. He was excellent in action
and sang his part faithfully Boy Blue
and Be Peep won a generous recall in the
second act after their duet Miss Bessie
Hall sang, Cushai Cusha nicely and
was quite at ease. Tairy was not wanting
in color in any respect, and did the switch
act very much as though he was accus-
toned to it. Miss Emma Hanson, As Mis-
tress Mary, rendered her solos pleasantly
We should not forget the solos by May
Dascomb and Ralph Hall, both showing
good voices.
The action of the principal and of the
chorus gave naturanesS to the parts and
although but one week was given to re-
hearsals, the entertainment was carrco
through very creditably. The second part
introduced Shaker duet by May Das
comb and Ralph Hill which was a great
hit and they were recalled yociferously
There followed selections from the "ller
nit of Cashell,' which were very muci
enjoyed. The Mandolne Quartette were
received with unmstakable evidences OF
delight. Miss Lila Murphy proved re
liable accompanist, and Prof New
comb managed the whole with ability The
ladies' treasury received goodly in
crease and the people got all they paio
for and helped most worthy charity.
